13 ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your Electricity Company and ask how long it is going to last. Most power failures that are corrected within an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove all frozen food. If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not be in the vicinity of the appliance. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of temperature becoming too warm in the refrigerator) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperature for which the refrigerating appliance is designed. Do not store food which spoils easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons. Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically. Temperature rise during defrosting can comply with ISO requirements. But if you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the appliance, please wrap the frozen food up in several layers of newspaper. Contains fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol. Foam blown with fluorinated greenhouse gases. Foam blown additive: Perfluorohexane Global Warming Potential(GWP) = 9000 Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

14 Saving Energy Tips Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example). Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance. Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance. Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator. Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer. Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases energy consumption. Do not set temperature colder than necessary. Ensure sufficient air exhaust at the refrigerator base and at the back wall of the refrigerator. Do not cover air vent openings. Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower. contents SETTING UP YOUR FRENCH DOOR REFRIGERATOR 15 OPERATING YOUR FRENCH DOOR REFRIGERATOR 23 TROUBLESHOOTING 36 14_ Safety information DA A (EN)-04.indd :59

If the right side is lower, perform the same procedure, but with the right control lever. It is difficult to remove the cover leg front from the refrigerator, so we do not recommend making small adjustments with the control lever. Instead, refer to the next page for the best way to make minor adjustments to the doors. MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DOORS Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator. INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that. In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20~125 psi is required. Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) cup can be filled in about 10 seconds. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet. Water line installation kits are include with unit. You can find it in freezer drawer.

25 ( 10 ) Filter Water filter usage This icon lights up when you need to change the filter, usually after the refrigerator has dispensed about 300 gallons of water (after about 6 months). After you install the new water filter, reset the filter indicator by touching and holding the Hold 3sec for Filter Reset button for 3 seconds. If water is not dispensing or dispensing slowly, you need to replace the water filter because the water filter is clogged. Some areas have large amounts of lime in their water, which causes the water filter to clog more quickly. CHANGING THE WATER FILTER To reduce the risk of water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water filters in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator. USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS. SAMSUNG is not legally responsible for any damage, including, but not limited to, property (Red) damage caused by water leakage from the use of a generic water filter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filters. The Filter light turns red to let you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give you time to get a new filter, the red light comes on just before the capacity of the current filter runs out. Changing the filter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator. To change the water filter, follow these steps: 1. Shut off the water supply. Then, turn the water filter ( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise Pull the water filter ( 1 ) from the case filter ( 2 ). To change the water filter more easily, shut off the water supply valve. Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water filter because impurities in the water cause it to stick. If you are having difficulties, grip the water filter firmly and pull it hard. When you pull the water filter, a little water can leak from the opening. This is normal. To minimize the water leaks, keep the filter cartridge horizontal when you pull it. To prevent overflow, 2 empty the water filter tray ( 3 ) and 3 dry around the filter case ( 2 ). 02 operating To save electricity, the Panel Display turns off automatically under the following conditions: When no button has been pressed, when no doors are open, or when no Dispenser Lever has been pushed. However, the icon indicating your cubed or crushed ice selection, or sparkling water selection, will stay on. When you press a button, open a door, or push a Dispenser Lever, the Panel Display will turn on again. All function keys will become operational after you remove your finger from the button you pressed. 3. Insert the new filter into the filter case ( 4 ). 4. Push the filter, and then turn it clockwise until it locks. If you have trouble inserting the water filter because of high water pressure, shut off the water supply valve. The locked symbol should be lined up with the indicator line. WARNING 4 5. Touch the Alarm/hold 3 sec for Filter Reset button ( (Filter Reset) ) for about 3 seconds to reset the water filter. The color of the indicator ( ) changes from red to off. 6. If you turned off the water supply, turn it back on. operating _25 DA A (EN)-04.indd :59

26 For a replacement water filter, you can visit your local home Improvement center or contact the Samsung Parts distributor. To order more water filter cartridges, contact your authorized Samsung dealer. Be sure the replacement water filter has the SAMSUNG logo on the box and on the water filter. Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the water filter. 1. Turn ON the main water supply and supply water from water supply line. 2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx. 6 to 7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines. 3. Additional flushing may be required in some households. 4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE Basic temperature of Freezer and fridge compartments The basic and recommended temperatures of the Freezer and Fridge compartments are -19 C and 3 C respectively. If the temperature of the Freezer and Fridge compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature manually. Controlling the Freezer temperature Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly, otherwise water may drip from the dispenser. This means that there is still air in the line. Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kpa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kpa.) If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kpa): Recommend Temp (Freezer) : -19 C The Freezer temperature can be set between -23 C and -15 C to suit your particular needs. Press the Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The temperature will change by 1 C with each press. See below. Centigrade : -19 C -20 C -21 C -22 C -23 C -15 C -16 C -17 C -18 C -19 C. Keep in mind that foods like ice cream may melt at C. The temperature display will move sequentially from -23 C to -15 C. Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary. Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage. If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. 26_ operating DA A (EN)-04.indd :59

27 Controlling the fridge temperature USING THE COLD WATER DISPENSER Push the appropriate ice type button to select what you want dispensed. Recommend Temp (Fridge) : 3 C The fridge temperature can be set between 1 C and 7 C to suit your particular needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The temperature will change by 1 C with each press. See below. Centigrade : 3 C 2 C 1 C 7 C 6 C 5 C 4 C 3 C. The temperature control process for the Fridge works just like the Freezer process. Press the Fridge button to set your desired temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge will begin adjusting towards the newly set temperature. This will be reflected in the digital display. The temperature of the Freezer or Fridge may rise when you open the doors too frequently, or if a large amount of warm or hot food is placed inside. A rise in temperature may cause the digital display to blink. Once the Freezer and Fridge temperature return to their normal set temperatures, the blinking will stop. If the blinking continues, you may need to reset the Refrigerator. Try unplugging the appliance, wait for around 10 minutes and then plug the power cord back in. If there is a communication error between the Display and Main Controller, the Convertible Display light may blink. If the blinking continues for a long period of time, please contact a Samsung Electronics Service Center. Using the ice lever ( 1 ) Push the Ice lever dispenser ( 1 ) gently with your glass.

28 into crushed ice. When you select Cubed Ice after using the Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced. The ice cubes generated by the rapid ice making process will look white, which indicates they were generated normally. As the ice maker in the refrigerator room makes ice cubes even faster, move the ice cubes from the refrigerator ice bin to the freezer ice bin if you need more ice cubes. If ice doesn t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker. See the illustration below. Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam the bucket. Making Ice To fill the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, follow these steps: 1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day). Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly. check the water level close the door, causing damage to the ice maker. Note that the ice cubes in the ice bucket may spill out over the drawer when you remove the ice bucket from the drawer. If this occurs, be sure to clear the ice cubes that spilled out of the drawer. If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may melt, and then freeze together when the power comes back on, causing the dispenser to stop working. To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or water. If you use all the ice at once, you must repeat ice making Steps 2 and 3, left. However, only wait 8 hours before dispensing the first 4 to 6 ice cubes. This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production. Test button 2. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass. 3. After 8, and then 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice. To test the ice maker, press the Test button on the ice maker. You will hear the refrigerator chime (ding-dong). When the chime sounds, release the Test button. The chime sounds automatically again to let you know the ice maker is working well. If you want to remove the ice cubes without using the ice bucket, please turn the ice maker off and remove the ice maker s front cover from the ice maker. Note that the ice cubes in the ice maker can spill out over the drawer. Do not put food in the ice bucket. If you store food in the ice bucket, the food can strike the ice maker when you open or Using the Ice Off Function When you select the Ice Off mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket. If you leave the ice cubes in the bucket, the ice cubes may clump together, making it difficult to remove them. To remove the ice bucket, push the button on the upper right of the bucket (1 in the illustration above), lift up the bottom, and then pull out. To put the bucket back in, push the bucket straight back until you hear a click. If the bucket does not fit, turn the helix 90 degree (see the last illustration on the right, above) and try again. Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator. Have a suitably qualified person install and connect the water supply line to the refrigerator. Connect the water supply line to a potable water supply only. 28_ operating DA A (EN)-04.indd :59

29 Going on vacation... If you have a long vacation or business trip and won t use the water or ice dispensers for a long time: Close the water valve. Otherwise, water leakage may occur. Remove all food. Unplug the refrigerator. Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold may develop. Ice Maker Do s and Don ts Do not put your fingers, hands or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker bucket It may result in personal injury or material damage. Never put your finger or any other objects in the dispenser opening. It may cause injury. Do not try to disassemble the ice maker. Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean it. 02 operating When you insert the Ice maker tray, be sure that the tray is well centered at the entrance. Otherwise, the tray may get stuck. Water clouding phenomenon All water provided to the refrigerator flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. In the filtering process, the pressure of the water that has flowed out of the filter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water flows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear. operating _29 DA A (EN)-04.indd :59
